Today I’m starting my first day of P90X. I never thought an exercise program in a box could have so many components. Since receiving the kit (through Craigslist) last week, I have had to buy dumbbells, resistance bands, a door attachment for resistance bands, an extra resistance band kit that I now have to return, and a yoga mat.
Alas, I think I am now ready to begin. I fast forwarded through the first workout a couple nights ago just to get an idea of what I would be doing. From what I can see, it’s going to kick my tail!
However, I need to do this and I want to do this. Like most people, I hate going to the gym. I don’t mind it once I get there, but actually getting there is a task in itself. Plus, the gym always seems like a place of intimidation. It doesn’t help that the equipment in the gym at my apartment complex keeps breaking. That kind of limits what you can do.
So starting today, I begin my 90 day journey. I’m hoping to give it all I’ve got and come out on the other side feeling better, looking better, and maybe being a little sore.
A “fun” component of the program is taking a before and after picture. Don’t worry. I won’t be posting either online.
Well, here we go…

I was at that same point 9 months ago and am I ever glad that I stuck with it. Something that helped me stay motivated was becoming a coach. I then felt like I needed to do it for myself and the people I am coaching as well. Check out http://www.BeachbodyCoach.com/jeff313 and click coach in the middle of the page. Let me know what you think of it.
Good luck, and keep pushing play
